Just came home from hospital. Couldn't get meds filled because it's thanksgiving and live in a small town. I'm cramping…

yes! my midwife told me it's fine and actually helps the pain. she said to start with a sitz bath though just to make sure you can handle it.

I don't think you're supposed to take baths for 6 weeks after delivering.

You shouldn't bathe with dissolvable stitches. Do you know if they are or not?

@tae23, oops, I could be wrong... you'd know more than me since you've already gone through it.

Yeah they are

I had dissolvable and was able to bathe even at the hospital following labor @levleah @bria.k

I was told to only shower for the first 6 weeks.

they actually use the same kind of dissovable that you would get with getting wisdom teeth removed so they don't dissolve easily.

I was also told not to have baths for 6 weeks and I had a dissolvable stitch.

Guess it depends on the dr!

I was told not to bathe for six weeks, can cause infection AND yu can still be diAlated for a couple weeks it doesn't always go right away
